A little (more) levity

Well, aren’t we all glad that’s over? Goodbye 2016, hello 2017, let’s start with something a little on the light side huh?

Remember a long time ago back in September when I moved 11 tons of bricks? Remember how one of the primary goals was to keep the terriers from climbing things?

Yeah, that worked out.

Next up, some form failures:

There are so many things wrong here…

From now on when someone asks me a yes/no question and the answer is “maybe” I’m answering “Do you live in Canada?”

There are some good ways to pick a state for an address, and many bad ones, and then there’s using an autocomplete search…

My state starts with P, of course I meant Mississippi!

There are no data forms so good that a data entry person with a text entry field can’t mess them up.

This is how you invite your users to call for your hours.

How about some marketing content?

Sometimes we words out if we shop wine.

I hope this means we’re “shopping with wine” not “shopping for wine”, because that’s my kind of convenience.

We live in a miraculous time.

Technology’s come a long way if my router can cure acne.

That’s Mister Hydra to you.

Unfortunately, Mrs Hydra did not appear to be available.

Tasty chips here! No really!

Because someone shot down “No longer tastes like the bag!”

Finally, some false parallels.

Because you can never have too many of those.

Where do they speak “Hot water” exactly?

May your new year be happy, healthy, and full of reasons to laugh.
